According to The Italian Rapscallion:
About Leslie and Phil, I have no problem in having them used (one at a time) as main characters for Sammitch in different stories, but still I would prefer to see stated that one is an official member, and one just an associated employed, like Grissom is. But that's just to show that the line-up has just one character per writer, just that.



Sounds fair to me.

I really don't know about this story, guys. I know I said I was done writing Phil out of the team's actions so I could explore my own little subplots, but in this case my subplots aren't involved at all.

I have been working on a composition assignment since August. It's nine minutes long for a fifty-piece orchestra. I have three weeks to edit the score, create a condensed score, map parts, edit the parts, and submit the completed work (along with program notes and conductor's notes) to the music department. Obviously, this is a massive undertaking.

What I don't know is if this story, traveling to another world, will have farther-reaching implications - specifically, if this is the 'trapped off Earth' extended story idea we threw around in the last talk thread. If it is, that means I'll have to give a lot of time to the boards that I really ought to be spending with my score. Even if it's not, I just don't know how much time will be demanded of me in this story, and I don't want to half-write anything.

What I need to know is how much will be demanded of my characters and of me in this story. I need to know whether it's feasible to send Phil with the team into Shift's other world, or whether I should leave all my characters home for this one. I want to participate, but not at the expense of too much critical time. Please let me know ASAP what I should do, then I'll noodle putting my character on this mission. Thanks!
